Over the past few minutes, the Montreal Canadiens organization has indeed called the media for a press conference.

As we reported earlier today, the Canadiens changed their plan and the organization made a last-minute cancellation regarding today's practice.

This means there will be no morning skate today.

Therefore, to learn the details regarding tonight's lineup, we will have to pay close attention to Martin St-Louis's press conference.

The Canadiens announce a press conference for Martin St-Louis

A press conference scheduled to take place around 4:30 PM.

"The Canadiens will not hold a morning skate on Monday.

Patrik Laine (flu-like symptoms) and David Savard (upper-body injury) missed the last two games, so their status remains uncertain for tonight's matchup.

St-Louis will address the media around 4:30 PM ET."

"No morning skate for the Habs; the team will hold press conferences before the game around 4:30 PM ET ahead of tonight's game against the Canucks."

There are a few key elements we will be closely monitoring during this press conference:

Will Patrik Laine return to the lineup?

Will David Savard return to the lineup?

Will it be Jakub Dobes or Samuel Montembeault in net?

We will have all the answers around 4:30 PM, and I am particularly eager to hear the answer to the third question.

And if it were your decision, who would you send between the pipes tonight?
